Blake doesn't have the consistency. He just swings wildly at too many shots. Especially if things don't go his way. Djokovic will just play more consistent tennis and win.
Yeah I mean Djokovic is rightly favourite but if Blake turns up like he can do and hits crazy winners it will make it a very tough match for Djok against the crowd again at night though which suits him. Blake is very hit and miss but when on fire he push anyone.
I thought Melzer would struggle as well after two tough matches but I forgot that you can basically rule out that reasoning in the first week of the US Open. The scheduling is such players have a chilled out first week and then start playing more intensively in the second week, so those tough matches have probably helped rather than hinder Melzer. That and the fact Ferrero is rather shite these days. You forget how old he is and how many miles he has on the clock.
Just tuned in, doesn't seem to be on fire. To be fair he's been **** this year hence why he's languishing in the rankings. He doesn't just have to turn it on, he has to play near his peak to beat Novak. Novak is such a good player on the defence he can keep balls in and force Blake into errors, he just waits til Blake whacks one into the back wall
Yes Blake is finished as a top player. Ha you know what I actually like Isner at odds against, Younzhny another nutter who can blow hot and cold, it is a tough one as whoever was odds against I was thinking a small stake, I really need to hit the exchanges but just happy to play about for now. Nalbandian at 4/6 looks good Deffo having some of that.
I think he's done alright, he'll be better next season I think with more experience and a good pre-season under his belt. The training they do in comparison to the union lads is mindless, if he gets through that he'll be fine, even at 36. It's nowhere near as physical or technical, it's all gym work and swimming, the rugby practice is minimal.
I backed him outright mentioned it before in the lounge so hope he wins. Both can blow hot and cold steering well clear of the match.
Ha **** spoke to soon Verdasco challenge out lol. Nalbo has played pretty shite so far and is one set all I just think on current form 4/6 against Verdasco was not bad prcie considering how average he has been since before the French.
He has a huge forehand arguable better than Nadals but an awful backhand and hard is not near his best surface. Nalbandian by far the better player just has to keep his UEs down. Gonna tune in once Ferrer serves out the match got 2 sets up and 2 breaks up in the 3rd only a matter of time..
Yeah mate just started watching it about halfway through the set. Verdascao slightly stronger on serve and less ues. Nalby broke himself with a df and 2 ues costing him the set. I backed Verdcasco at 1.5 with the 3 bps and just got out again now hes at 1.3 which is very low. But Nalbandian looks very tired here and his ankle injury doesn't seem to have gone away.
